The Chico State baseball team (44-7, 29-7 CCAA) earned an 8-1 victory over visiting Cal State Dominguez Hills Sunday afternoon at Nettleton Stadium. Dominguez Hills fell to 30-28-1 overall and 17-23 in the CCAA.

Ivan Hernandez (8-2) allowed one run over six innings to collect the win and Clark Johnson surrendered just one hit over the last three innings to pick up his second save of the year.

After Poole's homer gave Chico State the early advantage, Dominguez Hills' Damien Lopez smashed his own solo homer over the wall in right-center field, knotting the score 1-1. However, Chico State retook the lead in the third when Jeff Walker reached on a fielder's choice, stole second base, and came around to score on Moylan's base hit.

The Wildcats then took control with three more runs in the sixth. Jimmy Lintt and Rich Janeway singled to open the inning and Chris Henry, running for Lintt, and Janeway moved up on Miguel Mendoza's sacrifice bunt. Henry scored on Kurt Probasco's single and Janeway crossed the plate on Johnny Molina's bunt. Walker drove in the final run of the inning, giving the Wildcats a commanding 5-1 lead.
